    go buy a blade style inling fuse holder put aligator clips on it to bypass the glass fuse
    use as a tester
    if indeed you do have glass fuses replace them with a fuse block
    here is the link on how to do it

    And for heaven's sake read through The Information Overload Hour (link in my signature). You have a 33 year old machine; it requries 33 years worth of care to be caught up on.

    Ya. I hadn't noticed which section this thread is in. The DYI section is reserved for posting articles about how to do a thing.
